@@bcw686 You can control mpg if you mind your acceleration and set your AC to a decent level. However, if you’re planning to use it for daily long drives, mileage might be an issue. If you don’t put on that many miles, like me, it’s a dream and will last forever.

[@Jojo-ni2cg]

One of the reasons I picked up a 2023 40th 4Runner is because I truly believe the 2023 Tacoma and 4Runner are the last of the greats!! the new models are 4 cylinder turbos with batteries, no thanks to all that tech-we all know the more tech that any auto maker puts into their vehicles the more problems they will have

[@J.Young808]

Yup I regret selling my 2022 TRD Off Road Premium. I drive for Uber/Lyft and getting 12 mpg was a little expensive on gas when Costco had it at $3.86/gallon. Now I drive a Tesla Model Y, I’ve had it in for service 4 times in the 4 months of owning it for the A/C. I’m going to Lemon Law it and get a 2023 TRD OR-P.

I came to a point where i just wanted a reliable vehicle with no worries. 2017 4runner and 150kmiles later im not even disappointed or worried. The thing got through snow and water up to my fenders getting me to places.😎

[@Thehubb1]

I bought a 2019 TRD pro I use as a city cruiser in Chicago. When the weather is bad there’s no other car I’d rather be in. Thing is the most solidly built car I’ve ever owned not to mention I don’t put a ton of miles on it and can literally still get like $50k+ for it after 4 years of ownership. Will likely never sell it but it’s nice to have that peace of mind.

[@georgeof78]

Reason the 4runner is built well is they are built in Japan in the same factory as it's Lexus gx460 cousin. Unlike the Tundra and Tacoma, which are built here in America. Don't get me wrong they are great too.

[@oriondoublecrossed]

This means you can buy it in rhd countries too if you request it to directly purchase from the manufacturer. Just like you can buy a middle east spec nissan patrol in Countries like india from nissan because they are made lin japan so they can manufacture rhd variant on special requests.

[@geshem1001]

I just bought a 2023 4Runner TRD off-road premium. I've put a rack on it, tinted the windows, next will be the lift kit along with upgraded sway bar and end links. I live on a dirt road and when it rains, it turns into a river. I use the part-time 4x4 to get through the water and sand and what a difference it makes. The gas mileage? The slower you go, the better gas mileage you get. I can get anywhere from 13 mpg to 36 mpg. My average is 16 mpg if that says anything. It may not have the hp but it sure looks good. I love to admire it in the parking lot and in the reflection on the windows in the drive-thru. Just a note: I've heard that the 2024 version will be a hybrid. They just have to decide which hybrid to go with: Tundra or Tacoma. So, if you're planning on getting one, get it soon. I'm so glad I have the real deal.

[@joeshmoe8952]

You can't go wrong with a 4runner, very reliable and low maintenance.

[@jeffamburgey7485]

Not to mention, at 150k, it runs the same as it did when new. They are just very well-built vehicles and difficult to beat from a value standpoint. It's a brick. Fuel efficiency is not going to be great. The resale makes the case, I love them. Great review Kevin, please keep up the objectivity. I still bought what I wanted, but your insight made me well aware of the shortcomings that I would not have been aware of as I made a decision.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Thanks so much for your kind words my friend. I actually think you made a great choice especially with the model year and trim level, you can even flip your car for a profit if you wanted to 😅 it’s got the prestige and desireability that a new Range Rover has 👍

[@jeffamburgey7485]

I actually had someone offer me 10k over what I paid, including tax, I thought he was full of it, then I saw prices on used 22s, so I am a happy camper, I can say for sure I've never before had an offer of 10k more than I paid for a new vehicle including tax, good think my wife wasn't in the car, would have probably had to Uber home.

I love Toyota Trucks! Just wish they address the rust issues! I traded my 2011 FJ due to the rust concerns. Used rust prevention and always garaged. Still the frame and body panels were rusting from the inside. Sad day indeed. Traded for Ford Raptor. At least they gave me what I paid for it !

[@user-qv4rj3fo9b]

I buy a vehicle for a purpose. I bought the 4Runner because it met my criteria for many purposes, and I'm not disappointed. I wish I could say I'm as impressed with the dealership. They were just all too typical with their practiced promises that you know are nothing but lies and BS. I've only ever dealt with one dealership that was honest. And, most amazing about that experience was that it was a used car dealer.

[@flatliner2713]

Couldn't agree more. I don't want all the problems from 8spd 10spd trans. Infotainment, etc. First Toyota we've ever owned. Always Hondas. My 2014 accord, still have, quality seems to have gone down. Still have our 07 odyssey. However, my friend still has his 99 lexus with 400k. And he really doesn't maintain it like i maintain our vehicles. So, I priced honda odyssey, pilot, etc. And we chose the 23 4runner sr5 premium 4wd. Should be bullet proof. All we need and more, simplicity is better. They say its a gas hog, but on trips I get better mileage out of it than the 07 odyssey. Can average 25 to 27. I don't do the jack rabbit starts, and keep it at 68. Anything 70 or above it sure drops mpg.

[@melbsurf]

Love my 2021 in the same color. Also can roll down the rear window from the outside like the old Ford Bronco. A huge feature for me. Great video.

I love that this thing will go anywhere the TURD will too (Play on trd sound)... and saves several thousands over that, which I don't need. TRD are great for thost that want them for what they are DESIGNED FOR- but this will easily do what I need and MORE. I'm also 67 now and won't be driving all that much so the mpg won't hurt that bad.

[@Rocket9944]

I had a 1998 4Runner I believe it had the 4-cylinder and a button by the shifter for extra power and it had more than enough power, when I sold it at 180 000 Miles still running like brand-new. I'm thinking about buying this modeling before the redesign , these things are bulletproof and I'm tired of having new cars with all these weird problems.

[@theAV8R]

Completely ignoring true off-roading here, since 95% of 4Runners where I live are Costco wagons: 4Runners cost about 30% to 40% more to own over a ute like a CrV or a Rav4. This accounts for maintenance, odds of catastrophic failure (low for 4runner), parts cost, routine maint cost , fuel, etc. To those of us who value the extra the 4R brings, like if we live in a near the arctic or desert, it's worth the extra. However, I'm seeing folks preach resale value and reliability and completely ignoring the sticker price of these things right now. Their current prices almost completely negate the benefits, and it sucks. I personally love the 4R and am willing to pay the difference, and think anyone living remotely should as well, but for an asphalt warrior it's a truly terrible value proposition since dealers are sucking up all residual value from its reliability.

[@RahzAlGhul]

@@MeynMotorGroup For sure I was actually gonna go check it out this week

[@RahzAlGhul]

So I just drove it for you expedited at your request. Looks are subjective but the Pilot is way more sexy and tough looking with a better body design, the engine isn’t as smooth as the Highlander and is also a tad bit louder. Ride is also smooth but a tie bit more bumpy that I noticed resulting in a better smoother and quieter drive for the Highlander. Highlander 3rd row is useless however Pilot 3rd is very useful and comfortable for me at 5’8. Handling is a bit tighter and better controlled in the Pilot with also a more effortless steering which feels a wee bit disconnected to the road like really lightweight

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Here’s my opposite comments, LoL. XP Package - Not the best tire option. Wish XP package came with A/T tires with #PMSF rating. Handling - You cannot judge 4Runner that easy since different trims handle differently because SR5 vs TRD ORP with KDSS vs TRD Pro with Fox vs Limited with XREAS handle very differently. 3rd row - I think you haven’t seen the 3rd row. Open it and see. 3rd row 4runners can adjust the 2nd row to have more leg room. Resale value - I think that is true to 4WD models. I don’t think 2wd models have good resale value as 4wd models. I have no clue why 2wd models exist as you can buy 4WD model and run 2wd for on road use and have 4WD when you hit off pavement. 2wd have less ground clearance than 4wd models. 🍻

Almost bought a 2022 4Runner last year. Just couldn’t get around the outdated transmission, terrible gas mileage and weak HP. Went with the 22 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK instead. Looking forward to what Toyota does with the next Gen 4Runner. Hopefully they offer it with a better powered V6 with more HP and better gas mileage to compete with the Ford Bronco, which is kicking the 4Runner’s ass in terms of modernization and features.

[@dalehopkins934]

Well the Bronco scored 30/100 for reliability soooooo. Good move buying the Jeep Grand Cherokee WK with a predicted reliability score of 82/100 .

The better thing the one model 4Runner this year is like leather pros interior it comes with rear passenger set up when theres more people to get in SUV its more detail of their 4runner

[@motokev2727]

I bought a new 4runner before the new version comes out, which is 2025 I believe.

Literally the same as my 21 Trd😂. I mean mine is better it has manual 4wd selector 😎

[@bertleclere2172]

No way it sounds like it is supercharged.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

It's transmission whine that causes it to sound like that

I can't knock the 4runner... the Hellcat mpg 😂😂😂

😅 yea my friend love these things but man that tank drains faster than this thing can accelerate 😂 the Taco I tested had much better distribution of Torque than this 4Runner

Cons: going to be replaced next year

Did they confirm it?

How is it no one is bringing up how horrible the ac is..weak airflow..and I mean really weak. Over 100 degrees outhere and this thing absolutely suks! Ok up front but passengers will suffer! Ridiculous! 23 TRD ORP..no dual air btw

[@MeynMotorGroup]

@@too7260 yours is probably broken then. Some of the coldest AC I’ve ever felt.

[@too7260]

​​@@MeynMotorGroupbeen to the dealer 2x. 42 degrees at the vents. Weak airflow. Had ceramic tint added all around. Still hot for rear passengers.

[@r1ashad]

I only hate that the interior is boring and dated as hell!

[@Anomize23]

You absolutely have no clue what dated even means coming from someone who actually owned a dated economy vehicle. I call it simplicity. I navigate every inch without taking my eyes off the road. Oh and doesn’t lag either like most touch screens out there.

[@r1ashad]

​​​@@Anomize23😂 Knight in shining armor to the defense! Other reviews call the inside dated too. I didn't say that it wasn't functional and it clearly doesn't have trouble selling. More specifically, comparing the current 2024 4Runner TRD Pro to the Tacoma, Tundra or Sequoia TRD Pro, the 4Runner interior lacks the "Racing" or sports appeal sitting in the cockpit. And I'd bet money that nobody buys a 4Runner TRD Pro because the interior wow'd them. Just my $0.001 (not a typo).

[@videogazer801]

This vehicle is loud and burns through fuel, the 4Runner sucks

[@bb-zq3tl]

Slow vehicle, too big, and the gas mileage is horrible for 2023.

[@Anomize23]

Its not slow if you know how to shift for longer gears in Smode. 5speed automatic was never meant to be fast, but i can make it quick😎

Isnt it built on a Tacoma truck ?
